Three Things Lists
Heard a terrorist expert on the radio say that terrorists want three things: Number one, and primarily, revenge, due to America's role in Beirut during the '80s and with respect to U.S. aid of Israel. Second is recognition, the kind of recognition "this program [WLW radio] is giving them". I didn't hear the third reason as I'd arrived home by then.
And in the latest National Review , Richard Brookhiser opines: "Men want three things. They want to live, they want not to be oppressed themselves, and they want, most subtly, to be recognized. (John Adams, following Adam Smith, wrote that the worst thing about poverty is invisibility: The poor man 'is not disapproved, censured, or reproached; he is only not seen.')"
